I'll be honest, I liked the book, but I feel like every time I was reading one of the scenes I've already seen in the film, it felt like something was missing. I am a big fan of the movie and while the book was quite a good reflection of the story of Ennis and Jack, I just could not resonate with it like I did in the film.
It may feel like I am judging the book solely on the basis of how it compared to the movie, and I will admit that that might be the case (just a little). I did not particularly enjoy the book, which I think is because it's a little short and dare I say, feels just a tad incomplete? But overall, the book kept the essence of the story which feels like a feat in itself.
